While Dalby struggles at Morecambe, fellow academy striker Mallik Wilks is thriving on loan at Doncaster.

Rovers manager Grant McCann has praised the 20-year-old after he netted his 13th goal of the season, won the match of the match award and was nominated for the PFA Bristol Street Motors Player of the Month award, The Doncaster Free Press reports.

McCann said: “This is what I expected we would get from him but I think he can be better. The lad has got everything to play in the Championship, whether that’s with Leeds, us or somebody else. He’s got all the attributes.”
